Pure Smile Face Mask in Milk



As I'm writing it now I'm using the mask and the smell of yummy milk was so delicious. Like those children's candy in milk flavors, yums!



The texture of the mask is like always, gooey and so moist, feels a bit thick as well. I hope all the milk will be absorbed into my skin and I'll have a bouncy baby's butt skin.

Oh yes, btw did you noticed I give you 2 pictures of the exact same item? One taken with a bit of fancy fancy camera while one with normality and the actual color and product so when you buy them, you wont be confused.

Back to the review:
The mask does gives me more moisture than the one that actually exfoliate, (oh yes, I'm not a fan of exfoliate) so this type could be my favorite from all their series with the fruits and everything.

Never forget to clean your face before using the mask and relaxed while using it ^__^, result? A moist skin and a bit more brighter look. Enjoy!



My Accomplishments



Hi Gorgeous!

These are a few of my accomplishments that I can remember since I started blogging in late 2009 and becoming more active in 2010.

I used to do reviews for websites and contributing, but as the months goes by I'm thinking of collecting them all in my own blog, that's why I'm having one and it's called: While You On Earth dot Blogspot dot Com.

The name was inspired by the things we have in this earth and needed now (until the world end and a new one was presented). The whole global warming, sun, etc is here and real. We need somethin' somethin' to 'touch up' our skin. From caring to enhancing.

Enough said about background here's a bit of sharing from the past:





I've join Clinique during their Project Makeover with HerWorld Singapore, click on the image and soon you'll find me there. It's not where's wally (waldo) so it's super easy to find me. Beside on HerWorld, I've been in Singapore Women's Weekly and give testimonials to Spa Esprit.

I love being a tester ^__^ and besides all the wonderful products I can put some inputs for the readers.




In Indonesia, I try to play my part as well. But still the one I did in Singapore is a whole lot more. I'm glad to say that I've been with a lot of brands and testing, reviewing, involving and many other form as well. Laneige, Clinique, Kose, Skin Inc, Shiseido, Aqualabel, Bio Essence, etc.


For me why do I need to work with them or at least surround them instead of just reviewing the products I have? It's like give them a chance to explain and can't deny of some miscommunication that often happen if I'm not with them. Like how a products should be used, certain condition and terms, you know, details. And when I just get the products from the shop those info like the background and why a certain products was created won't be accessible. When I'm with the company, I get that!

So companies, don't be shy and do contact me ^__^



My Passion



If someone ask me what I really into, the answer would be skincare product. I don't know whether this is a bad habit or just simply a hobby I can't seem get enough of it.

I love to read labels, trying new skincare products and help people to get their perfect match skincare.

I'm pretty updated with skincare product around, somehow when I read magazines, travelings, or just strolling at the nearest malls, those things that pop up, some other things seems fading away, I'm in my own zone.




My advice is always invest in a good skincare product, not necessarily expensive or famous, but the one that really suits ones type and it work for them.


Nothing beats a perfect skincare product since it will effect the whole presence of beauty.

For me toiletries also a part of skincare. So it's not just about facial skin, but body and hair too aka toiletries.

So for those skincare lovers like I am (or anyone that need my input), please do leave a comment.






The next thing would be perfume, I'm a solid collector since I was about 9 years old. Scent are linked to memory and I love how it can envelopes oneself into a package that one's want to perform, sexy, feminine, bubbly, macho, or anything in between.

Last but not least cosmetics is linked with beauty products! Love 'em!

Cheers!

Treatment Turns Makeover Day for Me and Two Readers at Shinjuku Premium

Hi all!

These past few days somehow I get some insomnia, I choose to blog this time. Maybe I can't hardly sleep even thou I'm really tired and the clock clearly says almost 1 AM is due to the fact that I just had a great day. I have my Treatment Makeover Day with 2 of my chosen readers.

Actually is a long overdue giveaway and now, finally the Treatment Makeover Day can be done. Read about it here: CLICK ME

Now, why do I keep scratching the word treatment? Well, the plan is that it should have been Treatment Day but Mr. Audid, the owner of Shinjuku Premium Salon generously decided to give all of us a makeover. All of us! All 6 of us. Christina (blogger) also invite 2 of her readers and all of us was surprise to get the makeover. Why? In Surabaya, Shinjuku salon (known as Shinjuku Hair Make) also owned by Mr. Audid is very famous for his signature style of low maintenance. After a makeover by him, our hair can stay gorgeous approx 3 months. No need blow drying, hot curling iron, etc. Everyday you can look like you went to a beauty salon for a very stylist hair. Read more about the Grand Opening of Shinjuku Premium Salon in Jakarta ---> HERE.






These are the interior of the salon, you can see the word Premium written all over it right ^__^ Oh yes, I did mention that Shinjuku Salon is very famous in Surabaya, right? Some of Mr. Audid customer even come to Jakarta knowing he was here at the moment.

Okay, so let's begin showing you all our makeover.

Start by consulting, each of us get our own time to consult our hair woes and preference to Mr. Audid. Then he will give each of us advices on which style suits us and what can be done to enhance our daily look.

Then each of his staff is assigned with a job according to their specialty with Mr. Audid supervision, but all hair cut was made by him personally.

Here's our makeover:
(take note that each top left picture is the before look, followed by consultation -on the right, then process and lower parts are the final look)




Ms. Nia. Her hair condition especially at the edges was really dry, and since she only have limited time during the makeover, Mr. Audid gave her a quick cut with 2 styles. One medium length hair and when she wants something different, she can simply lifted the outer hair and she got a shorter hair style. Her bangs also tidied plus, mo more dry edges now ^_^

This is her testimonial:

@niathenia: Really happy today! Thanks for the make over session @ShinjukuPremium @C13v3rgirl When I walked around, many eyes staring at my hair :p


Next is Ms. Joan



She curled her hair recently and yet disappointed with the look since the curls are to small and messy. Mr. Audid gave her a more relaxed curl that's like a defined wave that she really wants. I can see that Mr. Audid technique is really clever. He straighten the hair first then give the waves she wants with bigger curls using tools I never see before. Like a thick towel or something XD Okay I'm blurred about this one, the result is like digital wave. Cool! But, beside that I do see some other technique that I found unique in achieving the hair style that one's want.

Does Joan likes her makeover, yes she did ^__^ 2 mission accomplished! Let's move to another one.




Ms. Silvi, she did like her big wave, but she hates the messiness. By cutting some of the top layer a bit shorter, refine the waves, Mr. Audid manage to give her the waves she wants. Her look is more tidy and effortless. Oh yes, both Silvi and Joan got their bangs tidied up too. Mr. Audid sometime combine the smoothing technique on some parts of the hair and wave on other part. So the result is personal and really like those Japanese girls where their bangs are straight and the back are wavy. Neat!

Here's a bit of words from SIlvi:

@Silphee: Done with makeover.. so happy :)

Wow! Another happy client. Now, let's see Ms.Carolina,



She also just got her hair perm, but the whole hair is permed and she is complaining about her bangs that also curled up. Mr. Audid help her by straighten her bangs, tidying up and define the wave for a more sophisticated look. It was a real breeze since Mr. Audid did a one on one consultation on each of his client. So he knows exactly what they need plus his professional opinion and skill also a real help for us.

I don't think we need Carolina's testimonial, her big grin tells us all ^0^

We are so happy for you as well.


Now, it's the bloggers turns. Ms. Christina.




Her problem is lack of volume on the top part of her hair. Mr. Audid also add some smoothing for her bangs, tidying up, plus some unique techniques and voila! A volume top that can last for months, a more smoothed hair. With her, I can tell that Mr. Audid is very flexible and any condition of your hair and style, he can make the best of it. But my advice, don't let anyone ruin your hair style, please do consult with a pro since it does involve your reputation, well, at least your daily look. Visit Mr. Audid and you'll thank me.




Last, it's me! Sorry for the awful wavy before pic. My hair was oily and it's just running here and there. Mr. Audid gave me a touch up for a lighter shade, volume the top part with tiny curls hidden below, and a hair cut as well. A more refined, sophisticated look is created. Best part is still, my hair does look this good every single day without going to the salon, without using any hot heated tools, just a simple normal wash and dry, and I'm on the go!

So, if you are a very busy person, don't like anything fussy, practical, stylish, and really want to look good all the time, visit Shinjuku Premium Salon and get a makeover. For now until 2 months ahead in celebration of the Grand Opening. Shinjuku Premium Salon is having a 30% off of ALL services and get Buy One Get One promo.

CANMAKE EyeLashes 03


Hi pretty gurls ^__^

Most of us do love the effect of a fake lashes, somehow it does help creating a bigger, sexier and more a live!

But unfortunately, not all lashes created equal. Some may look dashingly good on you, some may not. Learning how to use it is a mere halfway to a success luscious lashes look. It involves patience, skill, and a very good glue XD

Now let me review one of the brand that is quite famous in Japan and worldwide, Canmake.





Selling price is 500 Yen.

I get mine from one of the beauty shops in Tokyo. Actually my husband get this one for me, thanks babe ^__--

Before I'm reviewing the product let see what they have for us in the whole range













Now let's review no 03. The quality of the lashes is very good and strong. With a bit of curls, all in the right place I found their size exactly match my eyes. I don't have to cut it or make it shortened. Glue is provided, it's in white.

The glue dries quite fast, so in a matter of seconds and a couple of blowing, the glue is ready to be stick to my lids. Unfortunately the white color does not turns into transparent, so I need to darken it with eye liners in black. And after sweating a bit the glue comes off. Bummer! First it was on the left lashes, when I'm still at home, so I just clean the dried glue from the lashes, and reapply before leaving home.

Then since the traffic is bad and the air con in the car is so hot, when I reached my destination the lashes (both this time) comes off again. They are still stick on the edges alright but not on the lids. It's a good thing I trust myself and bring the glue along. I apply it again and this time it sticks better when the air is dry-er inside the mall.

When taking it off it was real easy and one pull gets all the glue peeled.

But, other glue does sticks better than this one. Glue-wise: not recommended. Lashes: Highly recommended for their strength, remember I have to keep cleaning the glue and reapply several time that day, but the lashes are still strong, shape like new and beautiful as ever.


Front Look

This is me right after using the lashes, it gives me a whole lot of cat-eye ^__^



Rather side look


And this is me during the event with the same lashes.





Love Letters from Kiehl's



Hi all!

Especially Kiehl'sprouts (my calls for Kiehl's fan heehee \^0^/) there's never a joyful moments as it is, Kiehl's Indonesia has announced the official new prices start from April 1st, 2012. I received this love letters last week.

The goodies bag is filled with Kiehl's book with their new cover "Kiehl's is Growing Price are Shrinking"",  love letters, and new Price Lists.

I started by opening the rolled letter which is from Ms. Cheryl Vitali, Kiehl's Worldwide General Manager.

With greetings and best wishes from everyone at Kiehl’s,


Cheryl Vitali
Worldwide General Manager







Yes, you've read it correctly, their price is going down alright, isn't it super cool and so unheard of ever before. I get the full list but fret not, it is official and when you stop by at any Kiehl's store nation-wide you'll be sure to find the price adjusted.

The list I got is all the skincare and hair care products, I don't see any lip balm here, so I think not all the product's prices is going down.





My favorite Cucumber Herbal-Extract Toner is down by Rp.105.000. Their old price is Rp.285.000 and I bought one few months ago and now they are Rp.180.000 whoopie!!!

Some even go down more than Rp.200.000 like the famous PSLRC, don't you just love Kiehl's even more now?
